Happy Birthday to my Favorite Authors

Happy Birthday to my favorite authors: Louisa May Alcott, born today in 1832 and Lucy Maud Montgomery, born tomorrow in 1874!! 

Without a doubt, their characters and stories have provided me with an endless source of inspiration, quotables...and pure delight over the years!!

Mermaid Monday : In Pursuit of Rainbows

I woke up to a delightfully rainy morning that soon gave way to a gorgeous sunrise and a blue sky full of fluffy white clouds...a situtation just ripe for a rainbow!!

Friday Flower Pick : Mellow Yellows

"Beacause dreams ain't the only thing in life worth chasing..."

Iration - Go That Road 

(...it's a song, a good one=)

...In fact, there are butterflies, rose blooms, supermoons, and fairy's eye views worth chasing too!!

And that's how I spent the majority of my free time this week...wildly and gleefully chasing those natural wonders I love most. If you were in the downtown Santa Monica area at moonrise or moonset, you may have caught a glimpse of me flying past on my lit-up-like-a-Christmas-tree beach cruiser...red laser lights and two rainbow whirls in hot pursuit of some seriously mellow yellows!!

Happy♥Friday!!

Mermaid Monday Blues

From the palest of blue skies in a pastel sunsnrise, to the sparkling sapphire of my favorite crushed velvet turban...I think I've enjoyed every shade of blue imaginable this past week!!

This highlight reel features a few of my favorite blue, blue moments of late....With the rainbow sparkling out from the crushing surf probably taking the cake as my favorite memory hazed in azure.

And do you know what else goes great with blue?!...a supermoon of course!!
...Off I go tonight to see if I can capture a shot!! Wish me luck=)!!

Friday Flower Pick : Hazy Sunshine & Roses

November hardly seems like a month to stalk flowers, but what do you do when the weather forcast calls for hazy sunshine with a chance of roses?!...You head on over to Palisades Park of course, to see what you may be so lucky to find=)!! 

My photographic quest was rewarded with just a precious few blooms left bobbing in a gentle westerly wind, with soft light and bokeh sparkle all around!!

Back en shoppe, I got to musing on the dreamy scene and came up with these rose garden themed statement earrings, in my favorite holiday color palette of mint 'n red!! They go lovely with a couple of my latest glittering turbans. 

Glitter is a must for holiday parties, and metallic gold and Christmas red sequins will have you glowing from November to New Year's!!

Tropical Christmas in Mint and Red

There's something deliciously festive about a holiday color palette of mint green and cherry red!! It instantly conjures up images of a sweet, tropical island Christmas, complete with strands of twinkle lights in palm trees, coconut rum drinks, and Christmas carols set to steel drum beats!!

I love a mint and red combination as a lighter, fresher take on a traditional Christmas palette. It pairs beautifully with creamy whites and sparkling crystal...and goes gorgeously with my sunny 'n mild SoCal winter too!! Accented with deep dark greens, mint green and red would even liven up a classic snowy scene, with a delightfully tropical twist!!

To start my holiday collection off, I'd love to introduce you to my fresh-as-can-be, Tropical Christmas Turban!! Shown in a soft and dreamy mint green jersey knit, this piece features a bright red rosette and glittlering rhinestone jewel...perfect for boat parades, holiday parties, Christmas luaus, and beyond=)!!
